The way the case officer turns into an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is through the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCommitment (aka Blackmail) Ego. During Marciano’s dialogue with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken by Events”. In U.S. government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym “OBE” is “Overtaken by Events”. The opening credits feature characters and scenes from the series interwoven with mirrored panels. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as a “desert of mirrors,” a phrase taken from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue about the opinions and impressions of an older man describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the pursuit of truth, it’s hard to tell the difference between reality and its reflection, if you will, an illusion, like being in a “Hall of Mirrors.” Starring in The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First, the cast is absolutely incredible. Starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. The cast is reason enough to give it a shot, and it’s a pretty good show, too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for multiple awards come awards season. The series is about a secret CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston), who he’s still in love with. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
